💛 Giving Tuesday: Where Hope Finds Its Strength 💛

When Rowan first arrived at Taking The Lead, he could barely sit up on his own. Born with low muscle tone and difficulty swallowing, he spent much of his young life in hospitals and therapy rooms.

Then Rowan met George, a gentle therapy horse. Week after week, with guidance from his occupational therapist and encouragement from our volunteers, Rowan gained strength, confidence, and independence. Today, he’s walking, eating, laughing — and loves simply seeing his horses. 🐴

Rowan’s story is just one of hundreds at Taking The Lead each year. You can help more riders like him thrive — bid in our Harnessing Hope Online Auction or make a donation today.

Every gift helps create strength, confidence, and unforgettable experiences for children, adults, and veterans who benefit from our programs.
